Sumerian Cuneiform ANU Wind Chime .2

Serene, pleasant-sounding glass & pottery chime with the ancient symbol of Anu. I hand-rolled this 4" clay disc (10cm) and carved it with the ancient Cuneiform symbol, fired, then glazed and fired it using the Raku technique which brings out the unique colouring finish and colouring.

***PLEASE NOTE THAT RAKU FIRED CHIMES ARE UNGLAZED ON THE BACK AND DARKENED NATURALLY BY THE FIRE TO ALLOW FOR A UNIQUE FINISH***

Strands of fused glass and a pure hammered copper piece decorate the chime. Total length from top of hook to bottom is 16" long (41 cm). The hook is made of chainmail rings and steel.

** Anu ** Mesopotamian sky-god, one of the supreme deities; known as An in Sumerian and Anu in Akkadian.Anu belongs to the oldest generation of Mesopotamian gods and was originally the supreme deity of the Babylonian pantheon. Consequently, his major roles are as an authority figure, decision-maker and progenitor. In heaven, he allows functions to other gods, and can increase their status at will; in the Sumerian poem Inana and Ebih (ETCSL 1.3.2), Inana claims that "Anu has made me terrifying throughout heaven" (l.66). On earth, he confers kingship, and his decisions are regarded as unalterable.
